We have not lost a red ball game in 2023. 7-1 in (mostly) day games (3.20 start or earlier and not under Marvel roof)

Barassi's passing is an important thing in collingwood history , he torched us for years. I respect him , but he was a true enemy.

Still liking the 1953-2023 omen. Coronation in UK 2023. Previous one in 1953. Last time we WON all our finals 1953. Hopefully again this year.

Magpies in the garden and neighbourhood does it for me.

Hung out my Magpie beach towel , over front balcony, to support the team. and one of our Magpie family, the ones I hand feed, sat on it today, perched on the towel, Hes never perched on any towel before, hanging out to dry, so if that aint an omen, I dunno what is. !!!!!

2003: Buckley won the Charlie Award, but the Pies lost the GF to the Bears.
2023: Neale won it, and that means only one thing: the Bears will lose the GF.
